What a weekend we had, I LOVE celebrating birthdays!! We had a birthday jam packed weekend. Two of the boys friends were having birthday parties at the bowling alley and they were back to back. So we were able to enjoy the bowling alley from 2 until 6:45 what a long day. However it was so wonderful to see the amount of love and celebration at both birthdays! The parents of the children among the ciaos were able to enjoy watching the children play with their peers. What I also loved was the love and joy that were in the parents faces. We were able to celebrate a 5 year old birthday and an 8 year old, and the parents had these overwhelming faces of joy and pride like it was the first day they had seen their children :)
Sunday was our baby boys birthday party :) He is turning 8 this week and it just seems down right crazy! How are we parents of an 8 year old already!! It has gone by so fast! So after the party fest on Saturday we were looking forward to watching our son enjoy his party with family. He loves spending time with his cousins and his grandparents! However what I loved most was I was being able to soak it all in! There was never any frustration that the house wasn't clean enough or the food wasn't set up right or any of that nonsense. Andy and I were able to watch and enjoy our boys and the family love that surrounds us! We are truly blessed and loved!! So after our family left we just were able to kick back and relax and watch football!! In a house of 3 boys on a Sunday night little chance there is anything else on :)
So here were are today starting a huge week for us! First I return to the neurosurgeon today, Bryce's big 8th birthday. Then on Wednesday I have my follow-up/retest at the oncologist. For us it seems like a lot compared to just going home and doing homework and packing lunches. However it just makes it all seem easier because our home is a team and we pulled together when the stress comes along. Now don't get me wrong this hasn't always been the case but we are making things a new and working harder then ever to be the team our family should be. It helps that we have so much love and support around us that show and lead by examples within our friends and family! We of course are love being able to tweak it to our likings and not everyone else. There is so much freedom in this for me! More important I love that my husband and I are able to work as team to guide and raise our children and build and grow our couple relationship and reminding each other that it takes work.
So here is to this week with pending results and celebrating life, love, friends, family! Hope everyone had a great weekend and a great week!!
